It is a chilly afternoon at the Rowallan Scout Camp.  Sweet aroma is coming  from the kitchen and you can tell a delicious meal is getting ready for supper.  I spot a group of monkeys hovering on trees around the camp’s kitchen. It is interesting to see how they sway with ease from one tree to another, excited, and enjoying themselves.
While big pots of spaghetti are boiling in the kitchen, Carol, Maggie, Janet and Joshua are busy chopping tomatoes, carrots and onions in the rush to ensure all is ready before night fall.
The heat radiating from the cooking pots is fast making the kitchen get really hot. But with the current chilly weather in Nairobi, it is a relief to four cookd. The four chefs are enjoying their work and they seem to have a good time.
They have four hours to get dinner ready for 1500 participants and ISTs. The chef, Joshua Okari Maato, is making sure it’s made the Kenyan way; without spices.
Enjoy your meals! The Kenyan way!
